and a happy easter to you!

to me, the coming of easter means the arrival of spring. it is a time to celebrate the warmth of the sun, a time to take off your shoes and walk barefoot. so I did, all around the city, hand-and-hand with an almost-three-year-old and a bouquet of market flowers. and it was a lovely easter indeed.

february 2014

happy february! the grey of january is (hopefully) gone. I don't mind the cold, cold is fine. but recently it's been raining here a bit, and rain is good and lovely, but I am ready for some sun and flowers.

this month, my mind is full of travel / simple, classic outfits / pink and red and bright flowers / floral arm tattoos. 

I found out this week that I can afford a study-abroad trip to Norway (!!!). and I saw some photos of someone who had already been on the trip, and they went backpacking with preschoolers in the mountains, and I am so ready to go there.

so february, let's be great.

Back home.
